KANDAHAR, Afghanista - The Taliban beheaded seventeen party-goers, including two women dancers, in Afghanistan's volatile Helmand province as punishment, recalling the darkest days of rule by the ultra-conservative Islamist insurgents before their ouster in 2001.

The bodies were found on Monday in a house near the Musa Qala district where a party was held on Sunday night with music and mixed-sex dancing, said district governor Nimatullah. Men and women do not usually mingle in Afghanistan unless they are related, and parties involving both genders are rare and kept secret.

What on Earth is happening!? This is insane...behead numerous people because they attended a mixed-sex party, MIXED-sex, not a SEX party.

this is the TALIBAN,,,,think of modern KKK (or modern Black Panthers) with much larger numbers and more ammunition and power and no legal opposition,,,

Yes. Taliban and islam.

NO SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE!

The actions of the Taliban do not necessarily represent that of Islam!
While there are classes of offences that are punishable by the death penalty, even those are only metted out after a very deep investigative and judicial process. There is no where in the Holy Quran where extrajudicial summary execution is prescribed for any offence!
So, while the Taliban and other groups may claim their actions as being Islamic, they mostly have on Quranic text to back them up. It is very important to always look at actions in terms of being a laid down Islamic principle or just an interpretation by a remote group claiming to be right!

They need to be rooted out by the locals and slaughtered in the street as a warning to other "Taliban"

the Taliban interpretation of islam

like the KKKs interpretation of christianity


,,,both extremes are able to nitpick the parts which make some group a mere possession,, be that women or black people,,,

So, when was the last time you heard the Klan hollerin' to skin negro babies or cut the heads off partiers?

That's Islam for you.............

A terrorist orginization that Obama wan't to negotiate with....... Go figure.

I don't remember but I remember recently well know leader in the Black Panthers talking to the press about killing little white babies!

I wish we could say it's just a few bad apples who follow Islam, but their whole religion is mid-evil and is a brutal and dangerous cult. F-Islam!

Although not representative of mainstream Islam, The Taliban are as Mediaeval and reactionary as it gets. I wouldn't expect any form of concession or tolerance from these a**holes.

When she said "modern KKK" I took it to mean "think of the historical KKK, at the high point of their horrifying, righteous, violent hate mongering - and think of it happening in modern times".


I do not think she meant "think of the KKK as it exists in modern times".

Either interpretation is consistent with how people use the phrase "think of modern [insert historically significant group that technically still exists]"

But... but... its just easier to hate a whole culture.

It is only a few million divinely inspired bad apples....

Really, I know this is not Islam. The problem is the Taliban
does not know this is not Islam - and al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad,
Hezbollah, Hamas etc. etc.

And they ALL worship a pedophile.

he is right in the fact that it is not islam, but the clerics that interpret the laws of islam and sharia...once a cleric makes an edict, or fatwa, the followers of that cleric follow it out, and it the cleric is high ranking enough, it will be followed by millions. It might not have been the taliban that did this, but regular villagers that decided it was against there religion. Remember, since there are 1.8 billion muslims in the world, even if 1% of them are terrorists, that is 180 million terrorists, or about 8 times the total people killed in WW2...
